FARM DETAILS.
Why Every Agriculturist Should Keep q
Strict Business Account.

Why Every Agricultural Should Keep .
Strict business Account.
There are farmers who investigate
the details of their business so little
that they can not tell what branches of
it bring profit and what are carried
on at a loss. They know, in q general
way, whether they are as we'll off at the
end of the year as they were at the be-
ginning, but they can not tell just
where the loss or gain was made. If q
strict account Is kept in detail, it can
be easily told whether particular
crop cost more than its value in mar
ket, and thus the farmer be enabled to
decide intelligently what crops his
farm is best adapted for. Lack of busi-
ness methods cause many farmer
to 60 on from year to year making
little or no hcadway, and claiming
that farming does not pay. Nor is
this lack of systematic business meth
ods confined to those who devote their
farms to grain-raising? How many
stock-raisers are there who can tell
what it costs them to raise horse or
steer and prepare him for marketP
How many dairymen are there who can
tell just what the returns from each
COW of the herd are, so they can tell
which cows should be disposed of and
which retained.
Now is good time for change in
this respect. More system and atten-
tion to the details are necessary in
these times of lower prices and closer
competition with the producers in other
countries. Those who understand their
business the most thoroughly and give
it the closest attention. will secure the
best results. National Liue- Stock

HIS LETTERS RETURNED.

With her Hne pntrician Dir,
With Hngc OF gentle sadness
Made her seem saoes truly faff,
And thus tho SJdd was severed,
While their love was in its spring;
She gave him back his letters,
But she kept his diamond ring

II he needed such friend
In this world. so false and cruei,
On hcr truth he might depend.
Other men might deem her hcartless,
She would pass them by as churls,
While, In statcliest devotion,
she would wear his set of pearls.
And the jeweled fans from Paris
In their costly cabinet,
And the many dainty trifles
Wrought In ormolu md Jet,
And much bric.a.brac OF value
That Ind come ncross the brine,
She retained rs sweet mementoes
OF tho days of auld lang syne.
But she gavo him back his letters,
And indeed they were not few,
Tho they had no money value,
As our heroine we'll knew;
So She parted with them bravely,
And the interview was DER,
And with the kindest condescension
she dismissed him at the door.

LITERARY CRITICS.


A Learned Discussion Of Books and

alittle scream Of surprise and delight;

FIRST FRUIT FOR The FIRM.
The Memphis saddiery Company
Captures n Government
Contract.

An APPEAL reporter was yesterday
shown govern ment contract with the
Memphis Saddlery Company for 375
sets of harness. The document was
signed by J. d. O. Atkins, Indian
Commissioner, and the material is to
be used in his branch of the public
service. When it is related that the
enterprising and successful establish
ment came in competition with all the
leading saddlery aud harness manu-
fac urers of the country, the fact Of the
contract being awarded to Memphis
firm is peculiarly gratifying. 1t
demonstrates the determination of
the company as reorganizsd to hold
its own against the world, and push
the hustliDg metropolis with which
they have become identified rapidly
to the front.
